Pika Place - New Conveyor Lift

We actually do have a pretty cool project going on in the base area. We are installing another conveyor lift, Pika Place. It will be Southeast of the bottom of Black Mountain Express. The lift will be fairly short with a very, very gentle slope. The site, within our teaching area, is specifically designed for teaching very small children. Over the last decade, you probably noticed the increase in youngsters skiing and riding at The Basin. Many people have discovered just how "kid friendly" A-Basin really is. For the little guys, this lift should speed the teaching progression and increase the fun factor.

The conveyor itself has already been delivery by Magic Carpet Ski Lifts. We are expecting delivery of pre-cast concrete foundations in the next week or so. Installation will likely occur during the first half of October.
